Place 3/4 C. basil leaves, 2 garlic cloves, salt and black pepper in a food processor. Process, adding 1/2 C. olive oil, until minced and mixed. Pour over halibut in shallow dish; mix. Marinate in refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Mince remaining garlic. Heat 1/3 C. olive oil in a large skillet and add garlic. Saute for 1 minute until softened. Stir in olives, artichokes, roasted red peppers and salt and pepper. Saute 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Wrap each halibut piece with a piece of prosciutto, halving lengthwise if necessary. Thread 4-5 pieces of prosciutto-wrapped halibut onto each of 6 metal skewers. Brush skewers with remaining olive oil. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place skewers on well-oiled grid of grill. Grill skewers 5-inches from heat source for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning once. Cook just until fish is opaque and prosciutto is browned.
